“Listen, winning one SEC Championship Game doesn’t make you a dominant program, you know what I’m saying?” Mullen said with a laugh according to Gatorbait.net. “In two of the last three years, we’ve been to the SEC Championship Game. So even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while.”

The Bulldogs just won their first SEC Championship Game since 2005. They had not played for the SEC title since 2012. Florida played in the 2015 and 2016 SEC Championship Game’s. They also won their last national title in 2008.

In fairness to Mullen, he was saying this at a relatively private speaking engagement with his fans. So, he was more than likely just trying to fire up his base.
